GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - Unique steaks, a fun atmosphere and good music. Thatâs what Sullyâs restaurant owner said they will be bringing to downtown Gulfport.
The owners are currently renovating the old Climb CDC building at 30th Avenue and 13th Street. It has been empty since 2019. After looking at several locations on the Coast, the owners settled on that spot.
âWe spent around 20 minutes in here and said where do we need to sign. We just fell in love with the place,â said Brian McLelland, co-owner of Sullyâs.

Delaware prisons, as part of phase 1B of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, have begun doling out Moderna vaccines to a mixture of correctional officers and at-risk inmates.
But amid high infection rates 2 in 5 Delaware inmates have tested positive for COVID-19, according to data from the Marshall Project families and activists question whether many at-risk prisoners are being left behind in a vaccination effort that addresses only some and not others, all living in close proximity.
So far, correctional officers have been prioritized, with the state Department of Correction giving 623 doses of the vaccine to staff and contractors of all ages and 75 to inmates. The state is starting with inmates over 60 who also have preexisting health conditions like cancer and heart disease, according to Commissioner Claire DeMatteis.
He added that it s always difficult to sort out fact from fiction regarding complaints by prisoners. I get my facts from the commissioner and I know in any kind of inquiry legislators would get the facts from her as well, Carney said.
He said he was not aware of the draft resolution when asked Tuesday.
The resolution is one of two proposed laws relevant to COVID-19 and prisons filed ahead of the General Assembly s coming legislative session.
The other, House Bill 37, would give early release to some inmates who have served time during the pandemic.
That legislation would create a public health emergency credit for Delaware prisoners by providing six months of credit off their sentence for each month they ve been imprisoned during the pandemic. The benefit would be capped at erasing one year.

A group of Delaware lawmakers want to empower a special committee to call witnesses and subpoena documents relevant to how the state s Department of Correction has handled the COVID-19 pandemic.
Legislators will introduce a resolution aimed at creating the special committee to make findings and recommendations regarding the quality of health care provided to inmates in Delaware prisons, said state Rep. Sean Lynn, D-Dover, the primary sponsor.
The resolution along with a separate bill aimed at allowing some prisoners early release and credit off their sentences due to the pandemic represents the first legislative involvement of the Delaware General Assembly in COVID-19 outbreaks in local prisons, which have seen more than 1,750 prisoners infected and 12 die.
